The Giant Jellyfish Tank by Walter Hugo and Zoniel is an [art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer) that has been created as part of the 2014 Liverpool Biennial that kicks off on July 5th.

"As a fringe event of the Biennial, Walter Hugo and Zoniel have installed a large [jellyfish tank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures) into the window of a former shop at No. 53 High Park Street in Toxteth." Entitled 'The Physical Impossibility of Inspiring Imagination in the Mind of Somebody Living', the installation is inspired by [surrealism imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) and aims to transform its quiet community.

The neighborhood's inhabitants will be able to enjoy the Giant Jellyfish Tank's iridescent view until July 26.
"The surreal juxtaposition of the jellyfish appearing within this old building is meant to reflect on the idea that inspiration can happen anywhere and at any time."
